Join Student Energy’s Intersectional Equity Task Force

Recognizing that we are often in spaces where we are one of few youth-led organizations represented, raising critical questions on justice and equity in relation to the energy transition and climate change is an important part of Student Energy’s daily work.

The purpose of the Intersectional Equity Task Force is to evaluate Student Energy’s external and internal policies and practices, and build permanent accountability mechanisms within the organization’s Board, staff, and volunteers. The task force will also develop strategies for explicitly incorporating anti-racist principles and advocacy into the work we do. The Intersectional Equity Task Force will be made up of 12 members: 3 from SE’s board, 3 staff members, and 6 current or former Student Energy program participants from around the world. The initial term of the Task Force is one year (August 2020 – 2021).

We are recruiting six (6) Student Energy program participants/alumni from around the world to be members of the task force, collaborating with SE board members and staff on organizational and program evaluation and ideation for an initial term of one year. Due to the global scope of Student Energy’s work, task force meetings and communication will be online, and primarily in English.

Task force members should:
⚡️ be 18-30 years old by August 7th, 2020
​⚡️ be currently participating in, or an alumni of, a Student Energy program
⚡️ have the capacity to commit to a 2 hour (virtual) meeting each month, with 4-6 hours of prep between meetings
⚡️ have the capacity to act as a task force member for a 1 year term (August 2020-21)
